My career before entrepreneurship was a fun and adventure-filled life of canvassing door to door for an environmental nonprofit. Knocking on doors 4 hours per day, 5 days per week, asking strangers who did not know I was coming for money, signatures, and handwritten letters.

It takes a rare breed to do this.

Or does it?

That career taught me the incredibly valuable and profitable skill of sales.

Today, I run a business where I book podcast guests. I send hundreds of ‘cold emails’ and ask people for their time and expertise in an interview, and I offer them no compensation.

The skills I learned going door to door are the same skills I use today! Watch this Interview Connections TV episode to learn more about how I apply these skills to Interview Connections!
